Here you will find very dramatic verses stemming from my formally repressed angsty teenage years :) 

[charlottearthistory]

‘dolce far niente’ - john william godward (1904)

the second painting that godward created with this title, translating from italian to ‘sweet idleness’.

‘impression, soleil levant’ - claude monet (1872)

Pensamientos persistentes IV: Vi un autobús escolar y me sentí nostálgica

¿Alguna vez te regresas al 31 de octubre?

Cierra los ojos, inclina la cabeza hacia atrás

Y por un momento permite que tu mente vuelva corriendo a mí.

Acaricia el aire y finge que tus dedos se envuelven alrededor de mi cabello,

Susurra cosas dulces en tu almohada, cariño, solo finge que sigo ahí

Dondequiera que vaya, el mundo se siente lastimado

Dime, ¿el tuyo también se ve así?

[mariaana13]

Lingering Thoughts III: My cowering love

You are my king of possibilities

A love of novelties

You have all the qualities

To tear my heart apart

[mariaana13]

Your Betrayal

What a betrayal to know that the world loves you so much

I have nothing left to do but to swallow my cry

The sun leaves its kisses all over your body

Puts to shame the way that I love you

That sparkle in your eyes has been given to you by the moon

I think even the stars are afraid of you

But in spite of everything I keep you here

Here I take care of you

Here I make a space for you in the corners of my mind

Only God knows how much I have loved you

I've tried and failed to get away

But I find you even in my darkest hiding places

[mariaana13]

Tu Traición

Que traición saber que el mundo te ama tanto

No me queda nada mas que tragarme el llanto

El sol te deja sus besos por todo tu cuerpo

Pone en vergüenza la forma en que te quiero

Ese brillo de tus ojos te los a dado la luna

Creo que hasta las estrellas te tienen miedo

Pero apesar de todo yo te llevo aquí adentro

Aquí te cuido

Aquí te hago un espacio en los rincones de mi mente

Solo Dios sabe cuanto te eh amado

Eh tratado y fallado de escaparte

pero te encontré hasta en mis escondrijes mas oscuros

[mariaana13]

Lingering Thoughts IV: I saw a school bus & got nostalgic

Do you ever go back to October 31st?

Close your eyes, lean your head back

And for a moment allow your mind to come running back to me.

Stroke the air and pretend that your fingers are wrapped around my hair,

Whisper sweet nothings into your pillow darling, just pretend I’m still there

Everywhere I go the world feels plaintive

Tell me does yours also look this unpainted?

Pensamientos Persistentes III: Mi amor acobardado

Eres mi rey de posibilidades

Un amor de novedades

Tu tienes todas las cualidades

Para destrozar mi corazón

So I THINK I invented a new embroidery stitch? I call it grid stitch (as you sew a grid around the squares rather than a cross in them)

I also made a YouTube video guide to designing one

This is Laura Dern from Wild at Heart

Bonsai Mountain

I’m really pleased with this one, although it took months!

3rd Grid Stitch

Marsha P Johnson

Here’s the ‘how to’ video

[philosophybits]

To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.

Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks (via philosophybits)

Frank O’Hara, from ‘Mayakovsky’ featured in The Collected Poems of Frank O’Hara

Pensamientos Persistentes II

El viento aun carga tus sonrisas

Las susurra en mis oídos cuando me miras

Aun siento tus brazos cuando duermo

Me recuerdan que solo sigo perdiendo

Espero nunca encontrarte en mis sueños

Pues mi vida sigues tu invadiendo

[mariaana13]

Remembering the summer beach trip where I kept hoping I would meet a cute guy...at least I drank micheladas

[ousia-poetica]

No one should be a prisoner of a love, especially an unrequited one.
